Instrument Flight and Approach

[@Chris-il9mf]

This video brought back memories while learning how to fly at KPWK back in the late 90s, before they closed KCGX. Took a breakfast lesson to Janesville with my instructor. It looks alot nicer now. We used to have to call on the phone to cancel flight following and my instructor taught me a lesson. After we got our food there, he asked me if I forgot to do something.. I ran to the payphone to cancel flight following before thay started to look for me and the plane. Never did that again. I was born and raised in west suburb of Chicago. Now living in Kansas. Your channel brings back alot of flying memories. Keep up the great work.

[@WayneRigley]

Awesome! you inspired me to take my first flight yesterday in a Cessna 172 from takeoff to 4 min prior to landing. what a flippin' rush! i got the bug ! thanks Kevin! 0.9 in the Log

[@310Pilot]

Love comments like this Wayne!! Congrats on getting some air under you. Reach back and let us know when you get some of the milestones on your way to your PPL if you stick with it. :)

[@WayneRigley]

@@310Pilot I will say from a non-pilot perspective you make it look easy. it was only when I was behind the stick and full control when you realize exactly what you have to go through. Hats off to you and the misses

310 Pilot love your channel. Non pilot, thanks for the greater explanation you provided on this video. I think the close up view of instrumentation would be interesting. Thanks

[@ianski11]

Digging this channel...as a non-pilot aviation enthusiast, I really appreciate the explanations when time allows. You make it look so easy.

My fiancé and I were there eating when you arrived that day. The plane looks better in person! Cool paint job!

I have always been so fascinated by the sounds of beautiful purring engines.

[@Maximum1A]

Your read back was amazing and all without looking at notes! And your discipline during takeoff is a model for all pilots...mixture rich....gauges in the green....positive fuel flow.......etc. All so critical important

Thank you for the support and feedback....glad you're enjoying them!

[@perleycarmichael5498]

Nice video! Trained a few folks in a new C-310 45 years ago. Loved the A/C😀. You 310 looks better than the mid 70’s 310 we had. Great job on your video for those learning 👍.

[@davidleitch3199]

I really enjoyed this video. Modern avionics sure makes it look easy. When I was a student pilot you aviated the whole time the TO and FROM with VOR's intercepting radials, and flying by hand with instruments no headset radio, just a microphone you lifted to your mouth to speak. Flying VFR you had paper maps and you flew by pilotage looked out for roads, railroad tracks, powerlines and other aircraft, the late 70's was an entirely different era in avionics.

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it David!! I learned in the late 90's and it was pretty much the same except I had a headset. VFR was all maps and IFR was all VOR's and NDB's. I was happy the first time I flew behind a LORAN-C. :)

[@chriszeitler4613]

You could be happy again, I have a LORAN-C I could sell ya. Would make a good anchor or bookend. 😏

I'm flying vicariously through your channel. I enjoy it. A boy can dream. Nice landing.

[@bobs9614]

Very impressive to see you obtain your flight clearance info without need to write everything down. I guess being a controller has it's advantages when it comes to retaining rapid fire heading/altitude/frequency info. Also, really enjoy your RNAV approach procedure narration.

[@edmontongord8120]

What a great flight ,and a great idea for the camera on the forward panel/and you stuck the landing so cool ........can't wait to see the next adventure......

[@billyowell0113]

That was a T-34 Mentor by Beechcraft based on the Model 35 Bonanza from the 40's & 50's. It was primarily used for training pilots.

[@dennismiller7605]

I was in a Marine Corps aviation squadron in the early 1960's. I could not have told you the model of the blue plane.....but wasn't it primarily used for training? We used to have planes like that hanging around the base quite a bit.

[@bobbrandt6383]

Love your videos about IFR flying. I got back into aviation via sim flying after I found your channel last Feb. A lot different in the sim with a Garmin 530 and autopilot compared to the 172 I got my rating in back in 1987. Been thinking about going down to Monroe Co. and getting an hour of duel. Haven’t flown as PIC since 1994.

You're very welcome Martin! We love showing off our love of general aviation and the freedom it brings. Glad you're enjoying it. :)

[@chrisbeloncik2951]

When I started watching your videos several months ago, I felt you were coming into your flare a little fast, causing you to float. You seem to have figured it out and solved the problem. Good work. If you ever get a chance to fly a T-34 Mentor, do so. Fully aerobatic, fully military in the cockpit with a stick instead of a yoke. Fun airplane. Flew them in primary Navy flight training, Saufley Field, Pensacola, Florida, 1972.

[@mikehalm164]

Sorry Chris, but unless they'ev had the approved spar mod, the T 34 is prohibited from performing aerobatics. I've been away from warbirds for 12 years, but a few had been modified before I was forced to leave aviation behind. I hope all have been done by now, but wouldn't know . One of the first ones modified utilized the wing spars out of a Baron. Got to fly one once and it was a blast. Apparently, the Beech factory personell slapped the T34 together resulting in poor quality work. The Bonanza, since it was for the civilian market, was and is a quality product, but T 34s, whch is essentially a rwo placw Bonanza, had a lot of wing spar problems. Finally. Chris, thank you for your service to our country.

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Chris. Adding the VG's really changed the flare as well. Glad I have the speeds better figured out now. Always learning!

[@chrisbeloncik2951]

@@310Pilot Haven’t kept up over the years so didn’t know about the wing spar problem. Too bad. A fun airplane. The T-28 Trojan was fun, too. Kevin, I’m. Waiting for you to video an actual approach down to or near minimums. One of my most satisfying moments during my flying career was doing just that, breaking out of the clouds and the runway is right there where it’s supposed to be!

Happened upon your content when waiting on MSFS to be released. Have to say you are living the dream of many of us being able to fly as and when you want. I'm sure you earn it however working the ATC as you both do. Your videos are really well presented, edited and informative as hell.

[@luvbigiron]

Love your channel. I lived in Oswego/Yorkville area for 21 years while working at Cat. Also flew out of Naperville as a student pilot back in early 79's. Live in Virginia now, but enjoy hearing you mention good ole Illinois towns. I flew in to Janesville on a student solo in a Cessna 150 years ago. I always thought the 310 was the sexiest light twin around and that paint job really sets it off.

[@310Pilot]

Thank you....glad you're enjoying it!! I used to live in Yorkville a few years back as well. Nice area. I of course have to agree about the 310 being the sexiest!!

[@toms3906]

Kevin; I've been enjoying your channel for some time now as I grew up 2 miles east of Midway and got my Private there in 1965 (an indicator of my current age!!), so everything you do in the area brings back many memories. It's been quite a few years since my flying days and my time in ATC. I retired from the FAA going on 4 years ago, after working 16 years in Flight Standards here in OKC. Got to say I was a bit surprised with the clearance to cross KATYE at or above 3000 when the minimum segment altitude from KATYE to CULMO is 3100. Unless I'm missing something (as I said, I'm old and have been out of the game for a few years now), even though the Minimum Vectoring Altitude (MVA) could have been 3000, still when you are conducting the full approach (i.e., NOT on Radar Vectors to final), the clearance should have been to cross KATYE at or above 3100 to meet the minimum segment altitude to CULMO and the fact that 3100 is the minimum altitude at CULMO. Am I missing something?? It has been a reeeeal long time since I've read FAAO 7110.65!! :-)
